Answer:

Explanation:

Solstice is gotten from the Latin word 'solstitium'. 'sol' means the sun and 'sistere' means 'to cause to stand or stand still'. From an astronomical point of view, this translation makes sense because this term is used to describe that particular instance when the sun attains its maximum northern point or maximum southern point from the equator of the earth.

When the sun attains northernmost point from the equator, summer solstice occurs and consequently causing the Earth to experience the longest day of the year. Similarly, when the sun attains its southernmost point from the equator, the Earth's proximity to the sun is at its closest and thereby making the Earth to experience the shortest day of the year. Astronomically, this is known as the winter solstice

A box of mass 26 kg is initially at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

\Delta K = 52J

Explanation:

The change in kinetic energy will be simply the difference between the final and initial kinetic energies: \Delta K=K_f-K_i

We know that the formula for the kinetic energy for an object is:

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

where <em>m </em>is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> its velocity.

For our case then we have:

\Delta K = K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2}

Which for our values is:

\Delta K = \frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2} = \frac{(26Kg)((2m/s)^2-(0m/s)^2)}{2} = 52J

Consult Interactive Solution 10.37 to explore a model for solving this problem. A spring is compressed by 0.0647 m and is used t
padilas [110]

Answer:

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The compression in the spring, x = 0.0647 m

Speed of the object, v = 2.08 m/s

To find,

Angular frequency of the object.

Solution,

We know that the elation between the amplitude and the angular frequency in SHM is given by :

v=\omega\times A

A is the amplitude

In case of spring the compression in the spring is equal to its amplitude

\omega=\dfrac{v}{A}

\omega=\dfrac{2.08\ m/s}{0.0647\ m}

\omega=32.14\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the spring is 32.14 rad/s.

State Pascal's principle of transmission of pressure​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.
